In dense cities the income is meaningful, and unlike a tenancy it rarely involves regulation, deposits or repossession procedures.
Because the income is durable, it is worth capitalising — an income stream divided by a yield gives a capital value, and that is what a parking space adds to a property beyond its convenience.
The calculation
Rent collected = monthly rent × occupancy. Net income is that less taxes, insurance and upkeep. Capitalising the annual net at a yield — annual income ÷ yield — converts the income stream into a capital value, which is how any income-producing asset is valued.
Worked example
A space renting at 150 a month with 95% occupancy collects 142.50, and after 25 of costs nets 117.50 a month or 1,410 a year. Capitalised at a 7% yield, that income is worth about 20,143 — which is what the space contributes to the property beyond its usefulness to you.
Check what you are allowed to do
Leases, building rules and residents' association terms frequently restrict letting a space to someone outside the building, and some insurers exclude third-party use. Confirm before advertising, because the income is not worth a lease breach.

Is renting a parking space worth the trouble?
It is close to the lowest-effort property income available — no fixtures, minimal maintenance and simple agreements. In dense cities the sums are meaningful and the administration is a fraction of a residential tenancy.
What yield should I capitalise at?
Something reflecting the risk and liquidity of parking in that market, commonly higher than residential because the income is less durable and the asset harder to sell. Compare against actual parking space sales locally where they exist.
Do I need a formal agreement?
Yes. A short written licence covering the term, notice, insurance responsibility and that no residential or storage use is permitted protects both sides and keeps the arrangement clearly outside tenancy law.
